The Highlander Classics are the original R. B. Meiser series of two handed rods, and are the benchmark design tapers that both the MKS and Highlander S Series tapers are based from.

Over the past 10 years our Classic Highlanders have developed a strong following with anglers’ world wide. They are especially appreciated by those two handed anglers that will wish to achieve effortless long distance, ascending deliveries utilizing classic Spey lines and present grease line swing.

They will do equally as well with both Skagit and Scandi shooting head line systems by economizing the stroke and sourcing power from the lower hand.

These are extremely authoritive two handed rods, yet when put to work they offer the caster a sensual, uniform power and flex that will carry nicely into the cork when under full line load. Speed of recovery is quick and power transfer is immediately responsive to minimal caster effort.

Our new material schedules and improved bi-directional Helical scrims have allowed us to decrease the overall weight-in-hand of the new Highlander blanks by allowing the use of smaller diameter tubes and flatter tapers. These blank adjustments have not changed their acclaimed benchmark flex and power, but their lighter tubes have increased overall fishing and casting performance.
